Is there a module and a clear info on how to install this chatbox to appear on CMPS please?
I have found some post with a link to click here but it is directed to this page.
I've already been through over 250 pages some months ago without success.
Could you please help?
There is one done by stangger5 but it doesn't work when the forum is in a subfolder. I have to get on it but never took the time I must admit.

If this is intentional then can you tell me where I could change this? I can code pretty well so just point me in the right direction and I'll take care of it...
Don't worry I understand the fact that you don't want to read through 360 pages
It does ban them as soon the chatbox on their side refreshes.

The last image shows a better example, while image 1 shows the chatbox on max, and second image the chat box minimized. All these are taken with the resolution: 1024x768. Because of this issue, it forces everything on the forum to scroll to the right as well.
The screen size on screenshot 1 is different from the last one ?

I had the same problem, no matter what I tried I could not get it to work on any other pages other than the default set up pages, then I paid for BF version and installed 2.4 version, when I did that all the pages I specified started showing the chatbox, although I had to uninstall 2.4 due to it not working 100% on my site as of yet, the chatbox is still showing on all specified pages. WooHoo!
